+209 In marching band, there's stereotypes about all the instruments. Flutes are ditzy, clarinets are annoying, saxophones are lazy, the low brass section is really pervy, the trumpets/mellos are obnoxious, and the pit is really weird, amirite?

They hated every trumpet because our Director made us blast

We're there not very many of you? At my school they're always telling the trumpets to shut up a little.

Bo there were like ten.

Haha, shut up a little? I could barely hear myself think after they'd stopped playing. They are LOUD! :)

The high school across the street makes all of these sound true but the pit isn't really spoken of.

...I play violin in concert band. Am I the obnoxious hipster?

I'm with you down to the pit. Our pit is pretty much the best section musically. And we do more physical training than anyone else... Jussayin :)

It's no doubt that they're incredibly talented. They do amazing things. But they are just some peculiar kids (at my school).

At my school everyone in the pit is a stoner.

And the color guard... Total bad asses. Just sayin.

eh us guardies arent bad a. Were the dramatic ones.

I don't have much marching band experience as I'm a freshman, but there has been at least one guard girl crying every day of band camp.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Your guard members are pansies. One of our girls passed out. But so did a trumpet, a flute, a clarinet, a French horn, and three saxes. All freshmen.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They very much are. No one's passed out yet, but there has been a puker (though he was the trumpet section leader and a senior).

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well I'm guard captain and I hate the younger girls dramatic shit. I just tell them to shut up and spin.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That would be an excellent shirt slogan.

Ooooh it is! I think I know what our guard shirts are saying this year! :D

I loved being in guard all four years of high school. We were totall bad asses and just all around a family. Being captain my senior year was also an added plus to observe our odd but amazing behavior. Also most guard girls tend to date percussionists even though I don't (saxyguard pairing here)

I am the only trumpet in my new school so I get to be loud. At my old school we were obnoxious as hell and people were always telling us to STFU.

Whaaat? One? Seriously? ONE?

i would yya or nya but im too lazy :P

Not all flute players are ditzy... But I will admit that all the flute players I lead were a bit boy crazy and kind of spacey. I was none of those things because I was too busy checking out the colorgaurd captain and trying to keep the whole band in line.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I myself can play flute and so can a few of my friends. But if you had to choose one personality trait for the flutes... ditzy would be it.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'd say more spacey that ditzy. Ditzy makes us sound dumb. But if we're just spacey we could still be kinda smart, we just get easily distracted. Idk, when I think ditzy I think stupid.

Yeah, you're right, but I can't edit anymore.

Dance team: hardworking high-kickers with nice legs.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

More like slutty dancers with rvealing clothes and nice asses/legs

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not true. But at my school, that's what the band thinks if the dance team. We have a band of 350 and a dance team of 90. The dance team is amazing, and I'm co-captain.

I know I'm just saying that's te stereotype

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Then I guess my team breaks stereotypes. :)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You just completely listed my band, except the clarinets and saxes are the best section musically and are probably the least annoying.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As a member of the pit...I'd say this suits us perfectly. We're the only section that would pelvic thrust in the middle of a show.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

WINNING!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I AGREE WIFEY! I would also like to add that percussion and brass are the pervy-est sections EVER.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Saxophones are the close third.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

For my band the clarinets are the weird ones and the pit all do pot.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

in my band, everyone's pervy but we're all cool....and us clarinets aren't annoying.....but then again theres only 7 of us so.....yeah. we aren't a big band, only 72 members, but we are pretty much like family:)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Haha so true. Except our saxophones are more like subtly obnoxious... And don't forget the drum line clique!
